Crosiers celebrate Día de los Muertos 2018

Phoenix

Day of the Dead altars are built during “Día de los Muertos” to honor the lives of those who have passed. They are often quite beautiful creations, constructed with love and care. Creating these altars is one of the most important traditions in Mexico and in Mexican-American communities around the world.

Fr. Alex Juguilon, osc, and the Amigos Cruzados committee prepared a beautiful Día de los Muertos ofrenda (Day of the Dead offering) in Campo Hall at Crosier Village. All are invited to stop by the Village and visit.

Onamia

Br. Daniel Hernández, osc, and Br. Javier Garcia, osc, with the help of Crosier confreres, worked together in building this altar in honor of beloved deceased friends and brothers. All are invited to view the altar located in the Narthex of the Holy Cross Center.

The Crosiers in Phoenix and Onamia embrace this multicultural traditon and respect for all of the Saints and loved ones who have gone before us.

Crosier Info

We are Crosiers – a union of Christian men who will to live and work in a community to keep the Gospel alive and proclaimed. At more than 800 years old, we are one of the oldest Roman Catholic religious orders of priests and brothers.

The name Crosier is derived from the French word croisés—signed with the cross. We bear the crusader cross on our habit as a sign of our devotion to the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection.

There are more than 400 Crosiers today worldwide. We have two large, vibrant communities in the United States–one in Phoenix, Arizona, and the other in Onamia, Minnesota.
